SUMMARY:Changarrito Residency Application
DESCRIPTION:About the Residency\n\n\n\nChangarrito is an art vending cart\, conceptualized by artist Maximo Gonzalez as an alternative to the official gallery selection presented by the Mexican cultural authorities. Faithful to their original\, informal spirit\, Changarritos exist throughout the world\, evolving as forums for the sale of original artwork to the general public\, presentation of public programs\, special curatorial projects\, individual and collective exhibitions. \n\n\n\nWhat is the Changarrito vending cart:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrue to the Mexic-Arte Museum’s mission\, the Changarrito is dedicated to the presentation and promotion of contemporary Latinx and Latin American art. Artists will have the opportunity to sell their art on the Changarrito cart in front of the Museum (or an offsite location\, as a representative for the Museum during various Austin art festivals) while keeping 100% of sales. The time commitment is four days over two weekends\, Saturday and Sunday 12 – 3 pm. \n\n\n\nPresenting Changarrito’s virtual component:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs of Spring 2020\, the Mexic-Arte Museum has added a virtual component to the Changarrito Artist Residency\, allowing Changarrito artists to not only showcase their artwork on the Changarrito vending cart\, but also to the museum’s Facebook and Instagram audience for the month the Changarrito Artist Residency takes place.  \n\n\n\nChosen artists will display their artwork\, create video and picture posts\, sell their artwork\, and walk us through their artistic process throughout the month\, via Mexic-Arte Museum’s Instagram account (@mexic_arte) and Facebook account (@mexicarte). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplications due December 1st at 12:00 AM CST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApply Now!

SUMMARY:Changarrito Residency: Pico del Hierro-Villa
DESCRIPTION:Las Virgencitas Enamoradas\, Digital Photograph\, 8×12″\, 2022.\n\n\n\n\n\nLibertadora\, Digital Photograph\, 8×12\, 2022.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPico del Hierro-Villa is a Queer Fronterizx who recently received their master’s at the University of New Mexico in Chican@/x Studies. Being raised in El Paso\, later moving to Albuquerque\, NM\, they found the beauty of storytelling among Queer elders and those who never had the opportunity to publicly present their stories. The mode of their art and research is based on gathering testimonios and photographing Queer and Trans Latinx folks which captures a multitude of LGBTQ+ experiences\, a method they call fotografímonios. The purpose of their work is to not only honor the Q/T Latinx identity but to uplift Queer and Trans political struggles and provide post narratives that counter act against negative perceptions of Queer and Trans communities. Pico’s photography has been published at the University of New Mexico\, Latinx academic journals\, magazines\, online platforms and has been displayed at contemporary art museums in Albuquerque\, NM. \n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Influenced by Chicana Feminist theory and art\, I interpret Chicana Feminists’ critical approaches into creating a visual storytelling method that is based on resistance. Chicana Feminists’ oppositional work\, meant to uplift overlooked narratives and communities\, led me to create their artistic method to represent stories of Queer and Trans Latinx communities in the SW through visual narratives. I believe in providing intellectually accessible information with their photographs and work that is critical to building solidarity and awareness for Queer and Trans communities of color\, specifically Mexicans/Chicanxs.” \n\n\n\n\nLook at Pico’s Work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Cart – May 11th\, 12th\, 18th & 19th\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtists have the opportunity to sell their art on the Changarrito cart in front of the Museum (or an offsite location\, as representative for the Museum during various Austin festivals). Changarreando expands the reach of the artist by presenting their gallery online\, while allowing the option to sell merch over Instagram and receive 100% of the sale. \n\n\n\nPico del Hierro-Villa will be at the Mexic-Arte Museum featuring their artwork on the Changarrito cart right outside the Museum’s entrance on May 11th\, 12th\, 18th & 19th from 12-3PM. \n\n\n\nFollow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates on original work available for purchase and behind the scenes of the artist’s work\, space\, and creative process. \n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Instagram Live Interview – 5/30 @5pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou’re invited to Mexic-Arte Museum’s Changarrito Instagram Live event with artist Pico del Hierro-Villa\, taking place virtually through the Museum’s Instagram account @mexic_arte! Isabel Servantez\, Mexic-Arte Museum’s Curator of Exhibitions and Director Of Programs\, will facilitate the virtual event with a series of questions directed at the artist including a Q&A taking place during the last 20 minutes of the event.  \n\n\n\n\nWatch Video

SUMMARY:Taste of Mexico 2024
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, Mexic-Arte Museum’s Taste of Mexico has become one of the leading Mexican-inspired culinary events of the year in Austin\, with over 1\,200 people in attendance in 2019. This culturally conscious event invites guests to generously sample creative cuisines from over 50 of Austin’s most eclectic and exciting restaurants\, food trucks\, and beverage purveyors providing fine tequilas and mezcales. This year’s Taste of Mexico will follow the theme of Antojitos. Guests will get to enjoy food demos\, music\, and more! \n\n\n\n\n\nTaste of Mexico serves to support Mexic-Arte Museum’s art education programs. Over the past thirty-nine years\, the Museum has empowered Austin youth through its exemplary art education programs\, family days\, internships\, tours\, and the Screen It! The program\, which introduces youth to basic screen printing techniques and careers in the art field. Screen It! received the 2016 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award\, a project of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities presented by Honorary Chairman\, First Lady Michelle Obama. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheme: Antojitos / “Little Cravings”\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAntojitos are “little cravings\,” or delicious appetizers\, that reflect the diverse regional influences and ingredients that contribute to their creation. From street vendors to family gatherings to traditional mercados\, antojitos are enjoyed across Mexico\, fostering a sense of community and connection through shared meals. Tamales\, tacos\, quesadillas\, sopes\, flautas\, gorditas\, tortas\, elotes y más are just a few examples of these delectable treats that showcase Mexico’s culinary heritage. In Antojitos we celebrate the spirit of Mexican hospitality and we enjoy the vibrant flavors that define this remarkable cuisine from various chefs/restaurants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Look at Taste of Mexico 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos\n\n\n					\n											\n											\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n						\n							\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n											\n											\n					No Caption				\n										\n									\n						\n										\n																		\n									\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThank you to our Sponsors!
